feat: first native dialog for modal (#8859)

- The current implementation for modals is provided by fomantic UI.
- This patch introduces a new implementation that relies on the `<dialog>` element to provide modal, whereby the heavy lifting is done by the browser.
- This implementation is considerably simpler, accessible (although untested) and lightweight. It is capable of replacing fomantic UI's modal implementation + our dimmer implementation (~2k lines of code and CSS).[^1] As a first step the empty content modal is migrated.
- This brings in the CSS needed to display `<dialog>` and a helper function that hides some boilerplate code that's needed to show `<dialog>` as a modal.
- Add a E2E test that shows the modal's cancel and approve button works.

[^1]: The heavy work has already been done by me in a local branch, but reviewing that gigantic patch in one PR is not doable.
